'Evening Bret and everyone! Been busy working and prepping taxes, but some good news came in today... Invited to write the union exams! I didn't even fully complete the application (was planning on doing it by the deadline which falls after the exam) and I got the e-mail.. My astrologist sees a lot of studying in my stars over the weekend :P

Should be a quick study for the union exam.....only need to remember 3 things.....

Well Art, if you gotta ask......means you gotta study more......but since your the dedicated employee that texts into the forums all through the work day........that should give you a clue......

Ever the passive aggressive sort, eh?

I often have extra time because of store managers I have to wait for to produce keys for access, supply houses where there are five customers and two countermen, and a host of other situations that produce time that can be used to share and learn.

So, what are the three things to which you have alluded?

Thanx for the unrequested dimestore philosophy Art.....FWIW....
And since this is my first rodeo in 36 years in the HVAC/R trade, thanx for illuminating my tiny corporate mind to what keeps you (in particular) busy out in the field Art.....'cause (like Taylor Swift) I'd never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever figured it out on my own.
So now get off you fat union a$$, take some personal responsibility for your own health and go get some exercise other than your thumbs champ.....since Obama is going to completely ruin your health care system
Finally Art.....let's just concede again that you won......that way we can both do more constructive positive things today than argue with another pig headed SOB!!!!

Off up the mountain in 9 degC sunny dry trails with the dogs....

I'm sorry. I would have thought you would learn to conduct yourself in a more fraternal manner with another tradesman in 36 years. That's is why I am always baffled by your poor attitude.

I'm not a Union guy, either.

I just would like to see you post the three things one would need to remember. Maybe some of us could get a laugh out of it.

Maybe you would just rather be acidic. Someone must have really hurt you in your life.
